The 2nd mystery charm is.....

....a pair of ice block tongs. Ice block tongs were used to transport ice for iceboxes primarily from the mid-19th century to the 1930s. Before refrigerators, ice was delivered to homes for use in the kitchen icebox. Below is a photo of actual pair of ice block tongs:
